College day

          Morning was full busy with different stalls. Yah! In our college, we install readymade stalls, just for fun, a stall for  flower dedication, a stall for song dedication, some tricky games and so many. I wonder what was the thing with them, because I have very least interest, on usual times, I never once, came here. But, today, since I am participating in the culturals, I should be here for the practice.

              To my utter surprise, my name was announced. I was bewildered not knowing what to do. Once more, my name was announced. It was from flower dedication stall. I searched for that stall. I went there with shock, surprise and enthusiasm. They handed me a bunch of lillies having 11 flowers. I asked them the name of the person who dedicated them, but they said they were asked not to tell the name. Arghh!! Whatever, I returned with those flowers.  And once more they were calling my name out. I went there with an irritated face and told them I have already received.  But they informed it was from another person, and they repeated the same story about the name. They gave me another bunch of Roses having 8 flowers.  I wonder what's the meaning behind those flowers and numbers, is there any meaning behind  them or am I implying?

           Only 2 persons came into my mind when I received the flowers. First one was Surya. Though, he seemed to be avoiding me, I know he wanted to have memories with me. But, what about another person, may be he was Nandu. But the confusion who gave which type of flowers was intimidating me. So, I wanted to skip this topic for a while.

 Evening

       
           Today was so special, especially for me, because I was participating that too for the first time. I am nervous so much. Actually, I'm freaking out inside. But, I am covering it. I wore a very pretty dress , sea green colored, lacy long gown, which was actually out of my style.

         When I am going to the  back of stage, I was suddenly pulled to oneside by someone. I was startled at first but composed myself when I realized it was none other than Surya. He looked me at with an awe expression, really, I am not exaggerating. He complemented me,  "You look  beautiful in this dress." What that means, am I look ugly in other dresses?  Then he asked me, "How was the surprise?" I was confused whether he was talking about what happened now or was it about flowers. He sighed and gave me hint, "How were the flowers?" Ohh! So he was talking about flowers. I appreciated, "They were beautiful." He smiled in releif. Just then, Nandu came as usual to interrupt us, I mean he was my intruder whatever may be the situation,

"Ohh god! You are here, I am searching for you. It's time, we have to go to check on our positions and to give final touch to our presentation."

         Surya was glaring at him and said, "What he was doing here? Are you still talking to him? I can't believe this."
Rolling my eyes was the thing I wanted to do now. But why to annoy him more? So I answered calmly, "He was my partner. We both were the voice over team to your act."
        His face became red with anger. What was with him? Why he was showing anger now?  By chance was he feeling jeoulous? May be because Nandu was his rival, so he doesn't like I am taking to him, then he said, "Don't do that, you already know you can't do the public performance. Leave him. He will handle it."
         What? How can he say that? I replied, "I can't leave him like that. He helped a lot to me, to be able to present it. We both practiced it combinedly. So, I can't leave Nandu."
He raised his left eyebrow and asked me, "How came he became Nandu from Nanda Kishore, han?" 
         "The same way, Nandana became Nandu to you", I replied with an unknown anger and courage. His words were the fuel to my raising emotions.
       He was taken aback. His face was showing the mixture of hurt and anger. My vision became blur, I don't know what happened. Even before I understand the reason, tears flowed drop by drop from my eyes. Nandu clasped my hand , showing his concern.

        "Ok, I'm not going to play the act, is that what you want. But, you should leave his team, right now." he told me looking at my hand which was holded by Nandu.

         This is so going so far. I should make him sense the present scenerio. " I didn't mean that. Leave this issue here. Don't bring our personal emotions on to the stage. This is a big day for us. We shouldn't embarrass ourselves infront of all."
        Just that time, to ruin the situation some more, the leech Nandana came, "What happened Surya? What are you doing here, with them?"
        He replied, "She was in team with HIM, for the voice over team."
         "What? Isn't it Radha?" She exclaimed.
       I answered, " She was just our help."
      She thought for a minute, trying to figure out something, and said, "Ohh so you intentionally hide it until now and revealed it now, why? To ruin our act? Then your wish will be only in your dreams because I won't allow it to happen for real."
       She completely mistook or trying to manipulate this. Surya looked at me with a disgusted look and said, " If you are going to perform with him, you can't find me on stage".
Nandana spilled out evilly, "See, are you happy now, you want this only right?"
Immediately, Nandana taken away him, not before saying or warning, "Stop what you wanna going to do, because it gonna bring you down more than what you can imagine."

             I hold my head with both of my hands on each side. I think, I am going to have a panic attack now
